HEIF at a glance

HEIF

HEIF was developed by MPEG and built on the ISO Base Media File Format lineage, which helps explain why it feels more like a modern media container for images than a simple legacy bitmap file.

ODT at a glance

ODT

OpenDocument grew out of the push for openly specified office formats, and ODT became one of its most visible outcomes as governments and institutions looked for alternatives to vendor-owned document ecosystems.
